What would the company like to get out of starting such a project? That would dictate what should be included from a logical standpoint.

If only for research and testing then that would be something totally different especially for the folks here that know how to play with code? I would just guess if given the right information, tools and a place to share and explore the android system with support from your company , it would be taken to a level that the average user of mobile devices right now couldn't even imagine.

Android will in all likely become the system of choice surpassing the mighty Redmond and great apple.

I step back from my soapbox :o and blend back into lurking mode :D
[G Tablet General] edirector:
Thanks,for responding to our calls and emails "for action and after purchase support." I bought from a retailer who was not allowing returns nor refunds, however, I did get a service plan. After working with it, I would not return it. Thanks to the incredible hardware and developer support from this site.

-Add direct movie streaming capability like from Netflix

-Easy beaming to other devices

-Easy tethering

-VPN

-Firewall or data encryption

-Public network privacy protection

-Standard auto attachment slot for GPS, music streaming, etc. making it interchangeable (I have an auto Navi/GPS (plus usb & bluetooth) about the size of this panel--thinking future forward--truly wishful thinking).

-Smart reader for scanning business cards, docs, etc. into it

-3G, 4G plus talk, fax modem capability

-Task Switcher or Manager

All I can think of now, will add more in case I forgot something.
[G Tablet General] Icedvoco:
Not a dev myself, but if this project was able to give us consumers some of my below suggestions, im sure many of us would be very happy and willing to continue to purchase VS products.

1) Real working market (I realise this is dependant on VS sorting things out with Google).

2) Required lib / drivers to use USB GPS and USB 3G.

3) For times when compatibility of software can be a task issue, the option to be able to dual boot to say WINCE. So basically WINCE support. This is for those like myself who cannot use our work related networks due to the limited proxy configurations support that Android currently has.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
1: forum for known bugs list in current factory rom

2: forum for workarounds and non warranty breaking fixes for forrum #1

3: link to xda, with the caviot that using instructions from the sight could break warenty/brick/Bork the gtablet, for those who are fearless. (I have have purchased viewsonic monitors for my whole computing career, you could use an image boost. I love your brand so I think spending money reping android would bring a lot of life back to you. )

4:full software disclosure. At this point its all about power, ui, and price. You have the power and the price... recognize that 98% of your tab sails are to people who take your ui and toss it without a second thought. Not being mean, just honest.
[G Tablet General] WantADroid:
USB

I would like to see is better support for USB drives. I would like to be able to use all my hard drives and thumb drives. Thumb drives work now but some times I plug them in and they are not recognized, forcing me to reboot.

For that matter move drivers for USB devices in general.
[G Tablet General] OfficialViewSonic:
We are looking to provide a centralized source for all the code/content/specs/details/etc you need for our Android-based products. But rather than guess what to put there for y'all, we'd prefer to ask! ;-)
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
It's kind of funny that here you are asking for dev input and not a single one of our wonderful devs (you know who you are) have posted a response. I assume they are doing their communicating behind the scenes with you but that is purely a hunch on my part.

Anyway, I LOVE my gTab running VEGAn beta 5.1.1 but fully support your interest in helping our cookers so they can make your product as well as their product better.
[G Tablet General] TheKaz:
I agree that the intent of the request was for what features would you like them to provide on their site, not in their products.

I think a forum, such as this, would be nice, especially if you can get the viewsonic developers to sign on to responding in a timely manner.

If you (viewsonic) are serious about reaching out to the developers, I think you have a great opportunity to make your system open and developer/modder friendly and become a leader in that category. could definitely be a great opportunity for you guys.

Oh, and perhaps a legal repository for .apks which are not available to us in the market for easy installation...
[G Tablet General] Rumbleweed:
I assume VS goal is to sell tablets. You have developed a good hardware platform at a great price point. A few changes and you have a great platform. To sell more tablets you need slick firmware. The devs at XDA have accomplished that with minimal support. Full support would work wonders. Suggest ask the devs what they need, in what order and what detail. Might even give them access to your dev team. Website should have dev only section and a well updated what is going on section to elliminate the repetitive " are we there yet" questions.

If you are sincere in this offer, it should provide a great benefit to both VS and it' s users. Lookout ipad here we come.
[G Tablet General] gksmith:
All Android devices need work to play in the corporate environment. Security needs to beefed up, the ability to integrate with MS Exchange servers, work with proxy, vpn, and whatever other security stuff is comes out. IPV6 is a requirement too.
[G Tablet General] notsob2002:
Well, go ahead and start the forum and post a link for us so we can start using with all the information that you have and can release and make adjustments as needed. You never know what will happen it may be more helpful to people than they may think and if nothing else it would be beneficial to people who just bought one of your products and don't understand the product and its capabilities.

Thanks for having the forethought to ask because most companies probably wouldn't even think of trying to get independent development for their product from outside of their sales or IT department! Thinking like that might actually make you the leader in a soon to be crowed market:D
[G Tablet General] Blades:
On the hardware side of things, I'd like to see devices that do not have empty spaces where things like mini pci-e slots should have been. This is the case on the gtab and its confusing as to why manufacturers would remove things from a reference board/product - confusing yet sadly not surprising.. Having something like odroid (but not as extreme) would be cool.. even tho I do like the exposed internals of that device..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomil:
Hey all, im very frustrated trying to install the Amazon UK app on my x10 :( i read that there was a problem with the x10's market so when i flashed to 2.1.A.0.435 i was hoping it would all be fixed, but im still unable to find it in the market.

I was able to get hold of the Amazon USA apk which also didnt show in the market, however this installed and functions perfectly. Could someone please post the APK for the Amazon UK app please.

I'm surprised there isnt more posts about this, no amazon shoppers in the uk with x10's?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alakasam:
I can find the Amazon app for the UK....

I'm using CM6 though, and it's got a custom fingerprint so that's why I can find it probably
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indesisiv:
I have it installed too. Got it directly from the market.

Must say that i am using CM6 too.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onsomethinguk:
I reported this problem to Amazon a few weeks ago. They didn't have a clue what was going on. As of now, I still can't install it, and it appears to be a 2.1 problem as it's not appearing in the Market on the ZTE Racer or GT540 either.

For such a big screw up, Amazon have been VERY slow to respond in this.

NB - the problem only seems to affect 2.1 and below, and will only appear in the UK market anyway....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomil:
Since its a free app could someone please share the APK?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indesisiv:
http://db.tt/MWhGLjF

Think that should be it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomil:
Many thanks, works perfect :-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onsomethinguk:
Amazon called today asking if the affected handset had auto focus.... hmmmm....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onsomethinguk:

[Focus General] markgamber:
I finally tossed my old wifi router and got a shiny "new" Linksys E2000 and have it set up pretty much as stock. B/G/N, a few ports open, WPA2 Personal security, etc. Nothing special except that, of course, the Focus won't connect to it. I had to ask a neighbor if I could use his wifi so it would stop whining about email. How many more months until this "phone" can do something useful? Tell you what, how about if I mail a piece of it to Microsoft every month they don't have an update for it and attached to each mangled piece I attach a note that reads "You"? Think they'd get the point then instead of combing their hair around it? I'd just sell it on ebay except what do you get for a Focus these days? $30 if you throw in the sim card? Still might be worth not having to look at the thing every day, tho. Never again, Microsoft. WP7 is as dead a WM....well, no, I can connect my Fuze to the damn wifi.
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Linksys routers, especially the new E series, are notoriously buggy. My Focus connects to two of my 11n routers just fine (one TrendNet, one NetGear). So, it looks like it is the problem with your shiny new router.
[Focus General] drokkon:
I concur. I've connected my Focus to dozens of hotspots without issue.

On the other hand, I've had problems and complaints about 100% of Linksys routers that are owned by clients (granted, they call me when they have problems) and two Linksys routers that I managed myself.

I would never recommend Linksys, and will never own another. I have and will recommend the Samsung Focus, however, and will own another Windows Phone. :D

(For the record, I own a Buffalo router running http://www.dd-wrt.com)
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Ever since Cisco takes over Linksys, its Linksys brand getting worse and worse. Not only the initial release firmwares are always buggy, Cisco also deliberately remove features that are common on other brands of consumer routers so that it does not eat into its Cisco commerical grade router business. Most common compliants I read is that WOL packets do not work on Linksys routers and switches after a device entering sleep for a while.
[Focus General] Tempest790:
I have a Linksys E2000 and mine works great. I was loyal to the D-Link brand, but their recent routers have had too much trouble. I was resetting my router at least once a week.

I will admit, it seems to be hit or miss with any brand of router. Just go to Newegg.com and you'll see hundreds of reviews both positive and negative for any brand router. Why can't they just make something that works?
[Focus General] markgamber:
I kind of doubt that. Every other device I own works just fine. Bridges, iPhone, iPad, Galaxy Tab, 3 laptops, 2 netbooks, other people's equipment....everything that anyone has tried to connect does so and very quickly. Just like at work where there are literally dozens and dozens of devices connected and what won't connect? Why the Focus, of course! Actually, the E2000 is an excellent router and it gets very good reviews nor have I ever had a problem with a Linksys in a whole lot of years of using them. No, I tend to think the Focus is the junk here.
[Focus General] TOA Duck:
I am sorry my friend but it is not the Focus phone in "general" You must have a faulty device and should take it back to the store to return it or get fixed. There are so few complaints about Focus devices connecting to routers. I have never had a single problem and I have connected to dozens of routers all of different brands and models.

I would definitely take the focus back to the store, if you bought it from an ATT store, at least I hope you did and didnt get it from some other source as you are probably screwed.

I have been so pleased with my Focus, granted all of the setbacks with updates and short comings.
[Focus General] phoneguy 4567:
OP:

I have found people with issues connecting their Android & iOS devices to this router as well. The Android post I read suggested using WPA2 (AES) on the router. A iOS person suggested taking wireless settings off auto and actually selecting a channel such as 11 as well as selecting B & G or G & N instead of auto to fix connection issues.

My personal experience with Cisco Linksys routers in the past has been mixed mode can be flaky. When I set the router to G only or N only (use only if all your devices support N) everything runs smoothly.
[Focus General] cbebop7:
yup it must be the router, back home my Focus failed to lock onto my Linksys WAG200 gateway if my Laptop was already connected to it. So I had to turn off the wifi on my laptop and let Focus connect to it first and then let my Laptop also connect. Strange:(

Hey there, I just recently downloaded perception custom rom and all of the APK's were taken out to keep the initial download and install of perception small, and now I have no idea how to install them onto my phone to use. Can someone instruct me on how to do so? Thank you
[Captivate General] kb0npw:
I used Sideload Wonder Machine to install APK files onto my non-rooted stock phone. Not sure if that would work for you or not, but it's available at: http://www.androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine
[Captivate General] FLAC Vest:
Yea you could use side load wonder machine. Also, you could just root and enable off market installations.
[Captivate General] lyrad12:
or u can use the new app that can install multiple apk at a time
[Captivate General] h0ckey10:
If u already have the apk stored on ur sd from a separate theme for the same rom, could you extract the apk u want and move it to a different theme?
[Captivate General] pietro_spina:
from command line

adb install name_of.apk

is what I use, there is no need for root.

If you are on windows you can put loads of these commands into a batch file and automate your re-installation.(You'll have to look that up yourself) If you are on linux you use a shell script or do like I have and make it a script for your file manager (Nautilus) so you just right click a group of .apk files and select install...
[Captivate General] illmatic90:
Sideload wonder machine works wonders.
[Captivate General] stone_phalanges:
Perception is an I9000 rom you don't need to do anything special to enable non market installation. Find the file on your SD card and just click on it to install.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteRocks:
Just wondering if anybody has heard any news about voodoo sound for our fascinates is gonna come through, also im on super clean2.6 eb16 voodoo, I tried setting up bln but its not supportes by sc... Any roms available that actually do? Ive spent some time looking but no such luck...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
If you would have searched and read, you would have found that voodoo sound and bln aren't going to work until source is available...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KitsuneKnight:
And for the likely follow up question, source isn't likely to be available until right around the time 2.2 is officially released.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteRocks:
Yeah I gathered that so far but, my question was to those that arent arrogant but to those that might be able to contribute usefully up to date info...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrodsunshine:
That's about as up to date as it gets. No source code = no true custom kernels = no voodoo sound.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteRocks:
Thanks Im starting to understand more everyday. I guess this is will be the next thing we get to wait months for...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayin100:
what exactly is voodoo sound? Ive only been on voodoo for a few weeks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivaaaa253:
I would check out projectvoodoo.com!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
No one can give a date for source until Samsung and/or Verizon give us a date for the official update release. If anyone had a date, I'm sure it would be all over the place...

It alters the codec(s) that are used to process audio going through the sound chipset in the phone to make it sound better.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmyeti:
Voodoo sound is, to me, the best part of voodoo. The audio hardware in the galaxy s is fantastic, the samsung driver for that hardware, not do much. Voodoo sound corrects that issue
[Droid X Themes and Apps] toph3r:
I just switched from Obsidian to ApeX, and the stock version of Swype (1.63) is back. I haven't been able to find any threads on uninstalling the old version so I can go back to the "beta." Any suggestions? If I'm posting on the wrong board, or my n00b status causes you to involuntarily convulse, at least spellcheck your insults.

Cheers,

Toph
[Droid X Themes and Apps] tyvallely:
Have you went into the system files and simply tried to delete it?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] tronned:
This is how I recently uninstalled/removed Swype, installed Swype beta on my Droid X with Fission 2.6.1 Black Edition:

Terminal Emulator

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

# rm /system/app/Swype.apk

# rm /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so

# mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

# exit

$ exit

* If Fission ROM was just installed, Swype.apk does not exist. It does exist after you install a themed Swype from Fission ROM Manager.

Dalvik Cache

1. Reboot into recovery

2. Wipe Dalvik Cache

3. Reboot

File Manager

1. Select/Install Swype-Installer.apk

2. Open Swype Installer

3. Select Swype Beta English/Spanish (2.5M) or Swype Beta Full (10M)

4. Select Download Swype

5. Profit/Enjoy

Hope this helps. :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] toph3r:
Awesome, thanks @tronned

That's exactly what I was looking for. Rooting around .system files when I don't know if anything else is dependent on them made me a little wary.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] tronned:
No problems.

Initially, I had attempted to install the Swype beta over the Swype DX I had downloaded from FRM, which failed at some point regarding installation version. I did some research, and used the method I posted, and was able to get Swype beta to install with little issue. I had to re-flash 2.6.1 a couple days ago, and followed the same steps (minus rm'ing Swype.apk), and the Swype beta installed again with no problems.

Just post if you need more help. :)
